The 2023 NFL draft has come and gone, so we now have a clear idea of what a lot of the team rosters and depth charts will look like when training camps open. It also means we can now better project fantasy draft values and player rankings. With that said, here’s my updated look at every position as we inch closer to the summer.

I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, which include those players who remain free agents (FA). At the quarterback position, Aaron Rodgers isn’t a member of the Packers for the first time in his career. That also creates an increase in value for Jordan Love in Green Bay, and a major fall for Zach Wilson in New York. I also have Brock “Mr. Irrelevant” Purdy ranked ahead of Trey Lance (at least for now) as the projected No. 1 quarterback for the 49ers.

Among the running backs, I’m expecting rookie Bijan Robinson to make a huge Year 1 impact in Atlanta. On the flip side, veterans like Dalvin Cook and Alvin Kamara are no longer No. 1 fantasy backs. At wide receiver, the list is very familiar with the likes of Justin JeffersonJa’Marr Chase and Cooper Kupp leading the positional charge.

At tight end, Travis Kelce remains the unquestioned top option with Mark Andrews and T.J. Hockenson going No. 2 and 3 behind him. The position has a lot of good young players with upside, so it’s up to them to meet expectations.

Alright, let’s get to it! Here’s my updated rankings for 2023! Check back for updates!
